Dew Formations.

The following explanation By Sergeant
Barwick of dew formation shows what q
difference there is in the temperature OF
the air near the surface and what it is sew
eral feet above, which cause was visible a
few days ago when there was several kill
ing frosts and ice formed, while the Signal
Service self-registering thermometer only
recorded $50, or 1o above the freezing
point. Now, $50 lower than that would
give 1S9, which, in all probability is some
where near the point the thermometer
reached during the two or three cold morn
ings few days ago. Professor Henry e.
Alyord after several hundred observations,
utters the following conclusions on the
formation of dew, viz. That on clear
nights the temperature of the air four
inches above the ground is lower than four
feet above by about 109 or l59 and the soil
three inches below the surface IS always
higher than that of the surface itself The
soil exhales moisture during the night, and
most of the moisture seen on plants in the
morning is trauspired by the plants them
selves. Soil moisture supplies large por-
ton of the dew

The skippery Burglar Acaiu.

1t is surmised by the police that most of
the burglaries committed during the past
few days have been the work of one man.
who is the more difficult to catch because
he works alone He operates very boldly
entering several houses almost adjoining
each other as a nights work and so far,
although he has been seen more than once,
il was not with sufficient distinctness for a
reliable description of him TO be given.
Success will be apt to make him reckless,
however, and lead him against snag when
least expected. 1t would be likely to cause
him much distress of mind if the proprietor
of some establishment which he burglar
lied should capture him, and rob him of
the booty obtained during his previous sue
cessiul raids He is not an amateur thief
for he makes it rnle only to take coin,
leaving watches, iewelry and plate undis-
turbed. To be sure he did disturb plate
al Cy. Hpbbard's, but there was pie upon

Reports to the police yesterday forenoon
developed the fact that during the previous
night he visited the premises of William
Price. S2l Eighth street; DR., Pinkham, $50
Eighth street, and ex-Supervisor B. c.
Steinman, III street. They were all en-
tered through windows that had not been
properly fastened. Mr.. Price and DR..
Pinkham did not lose anything, the burg
lar not finding any money, but Mr. Stein
man suffers TO the tune Of $500 His visitor
must have strong will, or he could not
have resisted the temptation 10 take gold
watch and diamond pin, worth say $1,000,
and also gold matchbox, valued at $50,
which were lying al hand. He also over
looked smaller sum of money. Mrs.
Steinman was awakened by the thiefs
movements, but mistook him for the
servant. a girl employed at the residence
OF Mr.. Burr, adjoining, reports having seen
a man leaving Mr., Steinman's premises
about 5 o'clock in the morning-a little
later if anything-but did not have an op-
portunity OF seeing the persons counte-
nance well enough for Identification When
Mr.. Steinman got up in the morning his
pantaloons were missing, much to his
establishment, but they were subsequently,
found outside the house, where the robber
threw them.

! know something of the uncertainties
attending the breeding of animals, yet |
am convinced that there are certain laws
pertaining to the process, which, like all of
natures operations are fixed and unaltera-
be, and which cannot be disregarded with
impunity From my own observation, from
conversations with the late Mr.. M'Combie,
and comparing notes with other breeders,
have come to the conclusion that the follow
ing cardinal points in the art of breeding
have been fairly established
|. That from the male parent are mainly
derived the external structure, configura-
ton and outward characterstics-the loco
motive peculiarities inclusive.
,. From the female parent are derived the
internal structure, the vital organs, and, in
II much greater proportion than from the
male the constitution, temper and habits
3. That the purer the race of the parent,
the more certainty there is of transmitting
its qualities to the offspring Say two ami
mails are mated if one is of purer descent
than the other, he or she viii exercise the
most influence in stamping the character of
the progeny, particularly if the greater
purity is on the side of the male
t. That, apart from certain disturbing in
tiuences or causes the male if of pure race
and descended from stock of uniform
color, stamps the color of the offspring.
3. That the influence of the first male i,
not unfrequently protracted beyond tn,
birth of the offspring of which he is tn,
parent, and his mark is left upon subse
| quent progeny.
6. That the transmission of diseases Of

seasonabIe suEgesIions.

We find the following in the Rural New
Yorker: lndiscriminate physicking of
sheep is ruinous to them. They don't want
sulphur, or pine brush, or hemlock boughs
only good clover hay and moderate
feed daily of mixed corn, rye and buck
wheat. Dry quarters are Indispensable to
their health. Look out for early spring
lambs. Watch the ewes closely every day,
and when the udder is springing and the
other indications Of Landing are seen, put
the eve in a pen by herself Lambs are
sure to be lost by neglect of this precau-
ton. Newly born lambs sometimes starve
because the ewes teats are closed by the
glutinous colostrum or new milk, or they
die by the closing of the bowels by the glut-
nous discharge. Both of these dangers
should be averted by watchfulness and care
When an unmotherly eve gets over the
first "a hours with her lamb, the trouble is
over, and she becomes reconcied and even
aifectionate. This is most common with
the young eve and these should be held un-
til the lamb sucks few times and is strong
enough to get its milk from the eve. The
ewes and their lambs should be kept apart
from the rest of the flock. Ram lambs
should be locked and emasculated when a
week old. They suffer little 10y the opera
tion at this time. The tail may be clipped
with the shears, and the whole of the scro-
tuIn may be removed by the same method
in a second. A pinch of sulphate of copper

Failure of the Bill for IA Secretary of
Agriculture.

The bill to make the head of the depart
mcnt of agriculture a cabinet officer, after
having passed both houses, failed in the
committee of conference on the senate
amendments. The final passage of the bill
was at one time regarded as certain, and
there was considerable speculation as to
who would be appointed as the new secre-
tary of agriculture. Its failure, it is ru-
mored, was caused by intimations of Presi-
dent Cleveland's disapproval The veteran
Washington correspondent, Major Poore,
says
Several amendments were adopted by
the Senate one adding the bureau of labor to
the proposed new department, and another
adding the weather department of the sig
nal service bureau. The propriety of these
amendments was discussed, and on Wednes-
day, the 23d of February, the Senate, with
out calling the ayes and nays, passed the
House bill. Eight working days remained
in which to harnoniZe the difference be-
tween the bills passed by the two houses,
but there was undoubtedly an intimation
from the White House that President Cleve-
land did not desire to have another secreta-
ny at his council table. Commerce and
navigation are represented there by the
secretary Of the treasury, public lands and
pensioners 10y the secretary of the interior
the mails by the postmaster general, oul
relations with other nations by the secreta
ny of state legal matters by the attorney
general, military affairs by the secretary
of war, and naval interests by the secreta
ny of the navy. But when any question
arises affecting the agriculture of the coun
try, there is no one there to represent it. 4"

New England Under Way Amin

We believe that the next census will show
that after standing still for thirty years,
the agricultural population of New Eng
land is again increasing. There is not
particle of doubt that the New England
farming class has greatly improved its con
dition and is far more intelligent, indie
pendent and forehanded than it was three
decades ago. We have often heard west
eIn emgrants of the times before the war,
who have returned East on a visit, speak
Of the vast Improvement and the marked
progress of our agriculture, and some
openly confess that our farms indicate more
prosperity ON the average, and a much
greater degree of home comfort than those
of the wide West, Even the soil out there
in the older settled parts has lost its virgin
fertility, and we have heard farmers say
that in their opinion the soil in many parts
of the West viii not wear as well as that of
New England. The wooded region, extend
ing from Michigan eastward, through Ohio,
New York and New England, has such a
well mingled soil, ground down by the ice
of the glacial period from all the rocks
which contain the elements of plant food
that il is practically inexhaustible. Il may
he got out of condition, and appear To be
run ont under bad farming, but the touch
Of the skilled hand restores ii in a few
years 10 even more than its original pro
ductiveness This is much less true of the

more in the thick mass of vegetable mould

While we believe that Kansas and other
states west offer enticing possibilities to the
young man who has his home and fortune
yet to make, we quite heartily agree in
spirit with the following extract from the
Hartford Times
Thousands of farmers every year leave
pleasant homes in the older settled states
and make long and tedious pilgrimages to
newer states and territories, not driven to it
by necessity, but by chronic restlesSness
AN idea that it is possible somewhere else
to get on little faster in the world In
nine cases out of ten the man would be
really better off to stay where he is, but he
is never satisfied until he has made at least
one or two decided changes. Homes are
DESTROYED in the most ruthless manner in
pursuit of this phantom of lettering one Is
self-homes which can never really be re-
stored to the family, for home is something
more than the roof which shelters us. The
associations of childhood, the friends of
early days, the memories of the past, the
ancestral graves upon the hillside-are these
nothing 1t will take more years than
most people of middle age can afford to give
to build new home and get into it the
feeling with which we regard our present
one, be it ever so humble"

Thc Err,iIizer Rnsines..

According to the census Of 1880 Mary
land was 10y far the largest manufacturer
Of fertilizers among the states. She had
then IS establishments employing a capital
of S4,2il SO and making an annual pro
duct of fertilizers valued at 1910, 1893.
New York then produced fertilizers to the
value Of 50, 1j0,3l2 South Carolina, New
Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, in
the order named, were the next in rank in
the manufacture, the product of South
Carolina being more than two and one half
million dollars worth, and of Pennsylvania
nearly one million and half These six
were all the states making at that time
more than a million dollars worth. But
fertilizers were manufactured in nearly all
the states The total value of the product
was about twenty-four million dollars.
There were 1854 different companies or es-
adjustments engaged in the business, EN-
ploying, besides statesmen, more than eight
thousand hands The business has increas-
ed since the last census was taken, and
these figures give no adequate idea of its
present extent.
